20th December 2000
Rain 2mm
Tjololo was still in Kruger giving us a chance to prowl for other opportunities and also get shots for the “Wants List” that Dale is sending me as he progresses with the editing.
Soon after midnight Tjololo was back on Mala Mala and rested up on his southern boundary. Lightening was threatening all around and with the first drops of rain we scattered back to camp as we were close by.
The rain didn’t do much, just a soft irritating drizzle.

And so goes the last entry in my LeopardCam diary.
Tjololo was still a part of my life at Mala Mala for another 4 years. Sadly those days have come to a final end with his passing away last month.









Wince. Is this really the end of the diary for him, or maybe a convenient point to stop? The diary entries have been a way to stem the loss….
And. If the 20th is really the end, what a spectacular photo of him for the close. He was and is, magnificent.
Kim, thank you so very much for giving the world a chance to share his life, and see him thru thick and thin. You were brilliant partners, brilliant.

Hi Sue. Unfortunately I left Mala Mala before I saw any of Tjololo’s cubs take up residence. Usually they’ll leave natal territory and set up else where. Also I had my own names for his cubs, which the Mala Mala rangers do not use. So it’s unfortunate we cannot follow up on any of his offspring. He was quite an active dude in working on producing offspring, so one can be sure his genes are scattered all over the area. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
